They have a real issue with student behavior. There are no real repercussions for bullying or harassment. We tell our kids to always tell the adult in charge when something happens. In lunch they will tell the security guard and the security guard will say "tell your teacher" then they go tell the teacher and they say "why didnt you tell the security guard?" If you send your child to this school make sure you ask them everyday very specific questions as to what happened. You will find out a lot.

Horrid, covert bullying and holier than thou complex.

Honestly, the school isn't awful, but they enforce punishments very unequally. For example, the dress code. We have no uniform, but we have a dress code. The assistant principals only enforce the dress code on girls, and even then results vary. My friend and I wore the exact same thing one day: a thick-strapped tank top with long pants. Tank tops are technically not in the dress code, but that is rarely enforced. My friend and I walked into the school and without warning one of the assistant principals started yelling at me and issued me a detention. I was standing next to somebody wearing the exact same thing as me, and he did not care. Four girls wearing significantly less walked by in the amount of time it took for the detention to be issued. I was in my last year of high school and it was the first detention I had been issued EVER.The teachers at this school are incredible, especially the AP ones, they teach concepts that are difficult in an intuitive way that makes them easy to understand. Unfortunately, the environment of the school is ruined by a handful of assistant principals who have nothing better to do than unequally enforce a dress code which is probably older than them. Instant detention for a shoulder peeking out is extreme.
